Can't believe they didn't show any of it? Outrageous. ITV is a joke though. Watched the Man United game on Sky then switched over hoping to see the other games, but all we got was United again, followed by analysis by Robbie Earle! Couldn't stand the rest of it, but according to my mate who watched it they went on to proclaim that the stand out game of the 4th round draw is Southend v Man United! In a draw that includes Chelsea Villa, Everton Arsenal and Birmingham Liverpool I can't see many people rushing to get tickets for that one

True. Would be a rubbish forum (which it isn't) if there were no arguments

I didn't realise you actually banned people on this site. How on Earth did I survive that???!! As for the article, fair but a little early to be writing off Benitez just yet. His selections, if based on last year, are pretty sound its just that Gerrard is not scoring, which covered up a lot of the gaps last year.

Fair point. No point going over that particular old ground again! I'm sure they'll be back once they start winning again

I couldn't agree with you more, and I am as embarrassed with the meathead element of our crowd as anyone. As I said before they are pretty much all talk anyway. Like every other club there was a firm in the 80s, a reasonably famous one, but its not like that now. When you go over for the away match you'll have no trouble and probably won't see any either. The only trouble we've had in recent years has been when we've played Leeds or Wednesday, and with a bit of luck we won't be up against either of them for a while! Its the impression I got from the 'welcome' you gave me on here when you wrongly assumed I was a Liverpool fan. If I got that wrong then I'm sorry

I never said you were bitter. I was just surprised you watched the Liverpool match considering how much you bleat about hating Liverpool. Yes we do have a contingent who are a bit stuck in the 80s hooligan thing. Its not nice and a bit pathetic but it is mostly all talk these days thankfully. They are the minority though and if you come to Brammall lane you'll see that most Blades fans are good lads who are there for the football

That 'me-being-a-Liverpool-fan' thing is getting a bit tired now isn't it?

Very true. You would have thought he'd have learned by now. He plays one big slow man up front, aided by a little guy who falls over all the time, and then packs his midfield with people who never offer any attacking threat, then wonders why the opposition centre backs can get forward to score!

Not really. Can't be bothered with all that. Was just messing about really.

You know who I support. And I conceded that you were the better team on Saturday even without your twelth man I was just surprised that you spent your time watching a team that you devote so much effort to hating

Fair points all but when it is the ref making headlines, there is something wrong. The decent refs tend to be the ones that you don't notice, and the game flows around them. Some refs seem to love the limelight, love making controversial decisons and as a result are usually the ones who get no respect from the players.

Johnson was within his rights to go down as he was impeded so getting the shot in would be more difficult. I have no problem with him. I only wish that Bromby had done the same when he was fouled in the box later on! I don't think it was necessary to send Davis off though. Again, its not Johnson's fault, its Gallagher being a wanker as usual, but it did spoil the game. I agree with you about refereeing in general. It does swing in roundabouts, and that Newcastle goal was laughable (offside rules never seem to apply to Newcastle) but I think we still win in the dire ref stakes for the first day of the season, when the ref gave a penalty against us because our man, essentially, thought about fouling Gerrard. I guess our day will come but I sometimes wonder if referees WANT to be slated by Warnock. Like some kind of badge of honour

Ha ha! Sorry I quoted the wrong person. Oh well, Monday morning etc etc

Surely you can't, hand on heart, watch the replays and not concede that what Warnock was saying on MOTD was at least partly right? Yes you were the better side but we were let down by the referee.

Did you have nothing better to do with your time?

Interesting. Where was this from? If Middlesboro are being investigated it makes McLaren's position look slightly uncomfortable!

Love Marmite. PLus, one small jar will last you at least a year!

Thats the dilemma in modern football really though isn't it? No clubs want to sell out but all want to make progress too. Say if someone from abroad did offer 10 Billion for Everton would you not want Kenwright to sell? Liverpool seemed to make a terrible hash of the whole thing. My understanding was that they wanted investment but were offerring nothing in return, which no businessman would be interested in!

Definately the way to go Mike. A while back my computer broke and so I went out and bought a laptop and set up the wireless connection. Just made sense at time. The thing is that then I got the PC working again and now the missus uses it so needed both of them to have internet connection. You basically just plug in this box near the phone and both computers can connect to internet from anywhere in the house, a lot faster than before as well. Definately recommend it

I didn't think anyone would believe me quite frankly which is why I never said it before. It hardly seemed worth saying anything as people had already made up their minds but there we are. I've said it now. I do support them. I am from Sheffield (although I live in London now). And yes we may be in 20th right now but you have to make allowances. For a start all of our players are a bit rubbish and Warnock appears to still be treating the Premiership as some kind of holiday at the moment. When it finally dawns on him that we have to fight to stay there we'll pick up.

I left 10 years ago. Judging by your grasp on the English language you should probably still be there.

A dumb prick? You don't even know me yet you claim to know about me? If it will stop the abuse (I imagine it won't but hey) I support Sheffield United.

Knob? Bellend? And this isn't firing abuse?! Well fuck you you fucking twit. And its none of your fucking business who I support. Wanker.

Read to the top of this thread. Zed's first contribution was to attack me. I had done nothing to him.
